Yes, my needle works. With the low temp TStat, I have found (with both ln and bw) that high speed runs on wide open roads with no stop and go results in a coolant temp around 160ish. Stop and go is different, 180ish. Shutting down immediately after a fast run will also run the coolant temp up to 190.


Lemans -
What a Lisle funnel? Is it supposed to reduce bubbles while pouring fluid? I truly don't think there is air in the system. If there was, the symptoms would be overheating followed by overflow.


The anatomy of the overflow tube confuses me. According to the fsm, the system should be pressured to 1.3 bar. How does it do that if there is a tube stuck out the top of the tank without some sort of restrictor valve on it?

Your temps run lots different then mine.
I have a low temp. thermostat.
Takes longer to get to operating temp but doesn't operate much different then it did with OEM thermostat.

Have you watched the coolant level in the overflow tank while letting it run up to temp.
Usually with a bad head gasket coolant level in the overflow tank will rise and burp.
Just like you have air in the system, but it just never stops doing it.

What is the color of your exhaust at WOT and deceleration.????
Anything look odd?? Like whiteish???? or steam???

Once you do a pressure test you will have a better direction to go.
Could be something simple like the burp valve.
